About This Journal
How can we build a future for teaching/mentoring creative work and research that honors core disciplinary traditions, supports interdisciplinary collaborations, and enhances transdisciplinary work? How can evolving digital technologies foster innovation in the interwoven work of teaching-researching-creating, while supporting the best of traditional practices in arts, design, and media disciplines?
This new peer-reviewed open access eJournal—collaboratively brought to life by the international Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) network, and a2ru member UNLV—provides a multimedia forum to address this and connected questions by exploring how creative work, teaching/mentoring, and knowledge creation/research are linked and in conversation with one another.
In a rapidly changing world - socially, ecologically, technologically - educators are constantly forging new techniques and innovative practices. We saw this in the crucible of the pandemic, as educators in arts, design, and media disciplines rapidly explored and developed creative solutions as they shifted from in-person to remote teaching, researching, and creating.
Art, design, and media faculty adapted centuries-old teaching traditions to new technologies and in new contexts that were themselves changing rapidly. These “tradition-innovations” continue to transform higher education in response to evolving challenges.
